BISHOP, Sir Henry Rowley (1786–1855), composer. ALS to A. R. Reinagle

BISHOP, Sir Henry Rowley (1786–1855), composer. Autograph letter signed to A. R. Reinagle, 2 sides, 8vo, London, Dec 26 [no year]. Thanking Reinagle for a copy of the Oxford Herald, saying that he “cannot attend to the article you have alluded to until my return. In what manner I may be disposed to treat it (for parts of it are not only scurrilous but somewhat libelous) I cannot at present say; but I will let you know in good time.” Old glue stains on both sides.

Bishop's correspondent was the organist Alexander Robert Reinagle (1799–1877).
